[1] National Hunt racing on a turf course also takes place at Southwell.

Southwell racecourse will always be associated with female jockey Hayley Turner, who grew up locally and had her first job in racing with a trainer based adjacent to the track.

The racecourse was forced to close temporarily in December 2012 when flooding caused major damage to both the track and the buildings on site.

BBC News pointed out that drone footage can be two seconds ahead of broadcasters, which gives punters a financial edge while "live betting."

Greg Wood, a racing expert at the Guardian, said that racetracks are profiting from the time lag by selling tickets for boxes that have dedicated internet feeds.
